Jimmy Martin was a wonderful host during my visit to his shop in Elizabethton! I found many wonderful machines! You would not believe the shear number of vintage machines that are tucked away! This load will keep me busy for a while!

Obscured by other vacs: Packard Upright (Maybe 1920's?), Two Kenmores (One of which looks like a Cylon), an ultra rare Sanyo Upright can be seen on the far edge, a Bissell Powergroom (Singer upright, has a dead motor but i ordered a new one), Eureka Emperor (Dead motor, going to have the commutator rebuilt), Hoover Model 825 with original bag, Hoover Model 700 Special with original bag (its flawless!)

1926700,

That is a Sanyo upright, looks like a twin fan but is only single fan. Its flawless other than a chip in the fan. I will post a pic soon!

Yes, that is certainly unusual. Who would've thought that it is not a Singer? I would also like to see some pictures of the one with the bag that says "Lite-O-Matic" on the bag...is that the Packard, or is it a Cadillac?

 

There sure is some great stuff in that pile! Jimmy has a great treasure chest of a store.

Light O Matic

This is actually a Bee-Vac, made by Birtman Electric Company. This is much older than my Self-Adjusting Bee Vac that is painted a flat gray color.

The Kenmore

I love this Kenmore, it reminds me of some kind of space-age armored alien!

The Universal?

bvac6's profile picture
This reminds me of the Universal Upright and the Anser vacuum that someone posted on here a while back. This one is dubbed The Carpetmaster. Cool vac!

Rear

The back is almost identical to a twin-fan

the Vac Shop

"jack-o-lantern Connie"-We sometimes decorate for the seasons.One year we had a witch doll crash a Dirt devil Broom Vac on front of store.
"Eureka self proppelled"-Is very nice EXCEPT was last used after remodeling job and picked up nails,etc.Will be on next weeks EBay.The fan and lower bearing are a fairly routine repair.--"golden box top Rugulator"-I think I saw another one.Or was it 2 or 3?Or could it have been 4?!?.
"died and gone to heaven"-Just stay alive and come to TN.Is an easy drive down I-81.
